stripPlot

iteratively plot each horizontal strip

Produce an HTML page containing horizontal strips that symbolize events in a person's lsife. Since this is entirely a visualization, the image <https://barryzee.github.io/henry-timeline/henry.html> will show the basic use to show a timeline of events. The image <https://barryzee.github.io/vermeer/cssOverlay.html> shows how to correlate two timelines of events. A brief description is available at <https://barryzee.github.io/timeLineGraphics_manuscript/golden_age.html>.
